A DENTIST is smiling after extracting a $2.401 million sale price for the Doncaster surgery he’s run for 50 years.

Noel Jones Doncaster director David Fileccia said the auction of 769 Doncaster Rd was intense, with three bidders, including medical practitioners and developers, fighting tooth and nail to seal the deal.

More than 30 bids were made as the auction stretched 40 minutes.

Mr Fileccia said the sale was believed to be the suburb’s highest price per square metre for a single block.

There are five consulting rooms in the Doncaster dental surgery.

“At $2.361 million, it was announced on the market,” he said.

“It was a difficult auction.

“There were permits there for three medical practices so we had medical practitioners and people there to develop the land.

“It was different to when you’re selling a family home.”

The dental practice includes a reception area, kitchenette facilities and parking.

As the dentist and his family braced themselves for a nail-biting finish, a local developer snapped up the property.

The small brick practice on a 926sq m corner block is just 1km from Westfield Doncaster and in a residential growth zone.

Mr Fileccia said the developer had plans to build four to five townhouses on the block.
